Our friendly (and infinitely knowledgeable!) tourism specialists would be glad to make recommendations for dining, overnight accommodations, activities, and attractions. Hours: Mon-Fri, 9:00am - 5:00pm
The visitors center will be open periodically. If we're not here, please help yourself to the free brochures on our front porch, and feel free to call us. If we're closed and you need to talk to someone in person, the California Welcome Center is still open, and would be more then happy to help you with all your questions.
Located at the south end of the Shasta Gateway center, the Welcome Center is operated by the Shasta Cascade Wonderland Association. Come in for free maps and brochures, browse exhibits like our geocaching display, take your photo with Joe Tourist, our mascot, or Ed our life-size bronze grizzly bear. Find a treasure to take home from our selection of local products in our gift shop. Our friendly staff is available to assist you 7 days a week, 361 days a year. Open 11am - 4pm.
